Mr. and Mrs. Clyde King returned Sunday from the Na- ' tlonal Livestock convention at Ueno. They report that the meetings' were especially good ' , this year. They came back through Death VtUey where they were told t at plentiful rains this season gave promise that desert flowers would soon be blooming la tho yalley. Cattlemen who use the ranee In the (lata, which H lit the north and eastern part ot Circle Cliffs, have Just .returned . from a week among their stock. They found feed so poor on the flats that they moved most of their cattle farher east and south to the Moody country where they believe the range Is better. From all Indications this is going to be an extremely critical season on the Boulder winter ranges Two successive years of drouth have left little . feed. Many of the cattle are thin, even this early. So far, the snowfkil has' beon about right enough to insure better vegetation next year and not so deep at any one time as to starve the cattle this year. It will be providential, however. If stockmen pull through without serious loss. Whether the government's drouth relief will come to this area, and If 11 does, whether It can be used to advantage, yet remains to be seen. Men who rode the range the past week are Leland Haws, Otto Haws, Heber Poulsen, Kiel Jeppsen, Kay Coombs and Emeron Peterson. The Ladies' Club met at Mrs. Ilenon Peterson's home on Thursday evening. Painting on fairies ot various sort was (he mala activity ot the meeting.

Tho women seemed eager to hare more help in upholstery work' from Mrs. nardwell. The- MIA sponsored another ' In'vestlae program last Tuesday evening under leadership of Mrs. Idona Haws and La Fay Coleman. The program Included songs, readings, and games. I have always felt sorry for have to submit my federal Income tax report In January Instead ot waiting until March (April this year) as those In other occupations may do, I never have availed myself of the "estimated Income" method, which, I believe, does allow persons In agriculture1 to postpone the evil days. For one thing, I am not good at guessing, especially about money and fpr an other well, I Juxt prefer to get bad things over with, the sooner the better. And with January weather what It is, you'd Just well lump two distressing things together. I would hate to be staying Indoors, In April, poring over columns of contrary figures, Did you ever wonder how only nine digits, teu If you count the zero, can be tangled into pages and pages ot numbers, snd ' many ot them wrong? And then there Is the lau-guage of the (ax Instructions. Will some one please send me a simple explanation ot this direction for figuring deductions? it Is from page It (b): "The deduction Is tho cost or other basis of the asset (reduced by estimated salvage value) multl plied by the number of years of useful life remaining to it (In' eluding the year of the deduction) divided by the sum of all the digits corresponding to the years of the aisets's estimated life (In the case of a 3-year life such a sum would be 6. that U 1 plus 2 plus 3)." Isn't It n ough to .give the average fanner a permanent loeflorlty complex, or worse! |
